Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean is turning up the pressure on the publicly unaffiliated superdelegates who have yet to endorse a candidate. On Thursday, Dean told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that superdelegates should start making their decisions public “starting now,” while saying the party couldn’t afford to lose two or…
View larger image Oklahoma Total Number of Delegates: 48 Pledged: 38 Unpledged: 10 How to Recognize an Oklahoma Delegate: Ninety-eight percent of Oklahoma’s religious adherents claim to be Christian, and the vast majority of these residents identify as Evangelical Protestants. This puts Oklahoma securely in the Bible Belt. But despite…
Promotions were announced at the Denver Police Department last week, including one for District Three Commander Tracie Keesee, who will now head research, training and technology as a division chief.

Colour Revolt Plunder, Beg and Curse Fat Possum Records 02:00-02:45 of “Ageless Everytime” Every once and a while someone gets the late ’90s right. Colour Revolt seems to capture the sounds of bands like Cop Shoot Cop, Shiner and Hum in all the right ways to make what appears to…
It’s coming up on us fast and furious: wedding season. We’ve all been to one, we’ve all seen them in movies and TV and seen those women (affectionately dubbed “bridezillas”) on reality shows who apparently have no grip on reality. But many of us do get married, and most of…
Scene Slide Show! If you were near 2107 East Colfax Avenue on April 12, you would have caught the scene outside of the shop NEWSPEAK—the gallery, tattoo parlor and graffiti vendor drew a swarming crowd by displaying the work of over a dozen graffiti artists affiliated with the Pueblo-based Creatures…
The idea of having a separate curator to oversee photography at the Denver Art Museum has been kicked around for many years. Over the last decade, there have been times when a sympathetic curator like Jane Fudge, or a curatorial assistant like Blake Milteer, mounted photo shows, but there has…
Booze kills. Tobacco kills. The combination ain’t nothing nice, either, but selective smoking bans can make the whole situation even deadlier, according to a forthcoming study that probes some alarming figures about drunk-driving deaths along the Front Range. “Drunk Driving After the Passage of Smoking Bans in Bars,” an article…
Yet again the little-dog yapping of the Minnesota Mild has gone for naught. As we discussed yesterday, the would-be Hanson Brothers of the Great White North — Derek Boogaard, Chris Simon and Todd Fedoruk — were itching for a fight last night. Instead, the Bruised Brothers got a big, bad…
Nik Freitas Sun Down Team Love Records 01:00-01:45 of “Sun Down” “Sun Down” sounds like what would happen if a 14-year-old boy only owned two records, Harry Nilsson’s The Point and N’Sync’s N’Sync. What comes out of that is an adorable little song that sounds like it’s made for and…
This week on the Spiral, your intrepid hosts saunter off to the hinterlands of Arvada to sit down with the Archive. There they played with a stolen keytar and listened to Fat Guy’s pearls of sagely wisdom. WARNING: This podcast may not be suitable for sensitive listeners as it starts…
Colorado was all over the April 15 Frontline—not that the show was about Colorful Colorado, but our state had a lot to do with the program itself. Denverite T.R. Reid, who lists among his many credits a stint as the Denver Bureau Chief for the Washington Post, wrote and hosted…
Joe Thunder isn’t known for his skills behind the mic. He isn’t known for creating hot beats either. He’s more likely to just listen to records than mix and scratch them. And you’ll catch him nodding his head before he’d bust out in a backspin. So what does Joe Thunder…
Thanks, Bob Schaffer, for not condemning the contemptuous ad campaign done by a 527 out of Virginia (who better to know about Colorado politics, after all?) that uses the pride that kids have for their school to make them into shills for your political aspirations, based on a record that…
Better late than never, I guess. To cap his “Small Town News” segment last night, Dave Letterman picked up a YourHub.com Wheat Ridge police blotter item from August of 2007. The original text from the article follows and Letterman’s writer did nothing to change it. Some things are perfect on…
What is it with these people from Minnesota, where the once-proud Minnesota North Stars have been replaced by the dainty Minnesota Mild? Our sister paper in Minneapolis (and we do mean sister), City Pages, posts this story suggesting that the Avs are “pussies” because the great goon squad of Derek…

If you were to walk down the beach somewhere and see a couch, you might think “how odd…a couch on the beach.” But if, as you got closer, you realized that upon that couch, dressed in suits, were the Rev. Al Sharpton and Pat Robertson, you might think: “Yep. I’ve…
Smiling feels really good. Laughter feels even better. I think you’d have a hard time finding anyone who disagrees – except, perhaps, the misanthropic person who left the gratuitously vitriolic comment last week. But he probably just needs a hug. So we all agree that smiling and laughter are good,…
